Provision Environment • Review
Provision Environment • Prerequisite Checks
Lesson Bypass Failed Prerequisite Checks
Provision Environment Environment Variable SKIP_ROOTPRE=TRUE or Provisioning Wizard Parameter -ignoreSysPrereqs true
Lesson Another Useful Environment Variable
Provision Environment Environment Variable PROV_ENCRYPT_DISABLE=TRUE • Clear text password in Response File • Great for Troubleshooting
Provision Environment • Installation • Preconfigure • Configure • Configure Pri/Sec • Postconfigure • Startup • Validation
Lesson Provisioning will take hours!
Provision Environment • Post Installation in Release Notes
Summary • Adequately Sized Infrastructure • Virtualization for “Do-overs” • Check for the latest documentation • Only install OIM Components Necessary • Bypass failed Prerequisite Checks
